Current Offers: USAirways cards with no annual mileage bonus
Current Links:
30k + 10k anniversary + no annual fee for the first year (now says "Offer expired"); terms and conditions include offer specifics
[NOTE: Barclays is erratically enforcing the restriction "for Preferred members only," especially for those who leave off a membership number on the application. See recent experiences reported in the thread.]
There is a separate thread for a 40k+10k offer with $89 annual fee, no anniversary bonus: USAirways CC special Offer 40K + 10K BT Bonus; AF not waived

1) I applied for this card but got the message
Check your application status by visiting http://www.myapplicationstatus.com/
At Barclays, if you already have an online account, the card can also show up there before you get a notification from them. Obviously, that won't work if you don't yet have an online Barclays account from another card. But if it's not your first US card, you presumably do have an online account already.
2) What's the reconsideration line number?
866-408-4064. Only open M>F, 8am>5pm, Eastern.
3) How long after my first purchase does it take for the bonus miles to post in my account?
Miles for the first-purchase bonus post with the statement showing the initial purchase.
4) For those people who got the targeted offer, how long after spending $750 in each of the 3 months does it take for the bonus miles to post in my account?
Miles posts two months after the end of the promotion period. For example, if your promo was to spend in June, July and August, the 15k bonus would post with October statement.
5) How can I get the anniversary 10K bonus points without paying the annual fee?
The annual bonus posts on the statement date of the month of anniversary. No need to "kick out" a statement. But if you are worried, you can put a few bucks on the card during that cycle thus generate a statement but it is NOT necessary.
AF is billed the last business day of the month of the anniversary (much better than Chase practice which is on the 1st day of the month). You have 60 days to cancel the card for the AF to be reversed. You also can use SM to cancel card and no need to call.
Note: I called to cancel the card (June, 2014), told them it was because the AF was too high, and they waived it. Still got the 10,000 points and the Companion Certs!!

You can usually see them within a day or two online. I just made a retention feint on my other US card (old no-fee World MC) a few weeks back & was offered 2000 miles for using the card once more. I did, and the credit appeared promptly in my Barclays account; should post to US once my next statement closes.
I double checked under Rewards Program Overview and it says 40K points with first purchase.

Yes, you get 10K miles every anniversary starting with one year after you open the card.
Cardmembers will receive ten thousand (10,000) Anniversary Miles at the close of the first billing statement after the first anniversary of account opening and each subsequent account opening anniversary

Data point
I applied for the Chase UA Explorer card yesterday (decision delayed) and a few seconds later this Barclay's US card (approved with CL of $12,500). I did have this same/similar Barclay/Juniper US card back in 2008 & canceled in 2009.
I'm really hoping this MC has CDW auto rental coverage for Ireland.

hmm..I purchased a $1 Amazon gift card (through Amazon.com) and it posted on February 18. On February 22, I transferred $1 from my checking account. When I log in on Barclay website, My Rewards shows: 1
I double checked under Rewards Program Overview and it says 40K points with first purchase.

Rejected
My wife applied for this card 2 days ago. She has a Barclay's US card from 2008. She rarely uses it. She called today to check status & the first question, after verifying personal info & salary, was "why do you want a 2nd card"? She replied to keep travel & non travel expenses separate. She said she'd gladly allow them to lower CL from 12,500 to whatever worked for them. After being on hold about 2 minutes he came back and said "rejected because of existing card and such little use of that card". Asked if she could be approved if she cancelled the existing card. "No" was the answer. So she asked to be transferred to someone who could cancel her card. She will try again next in 6 to 9 months. Oh well.
